What is the difference between the oneway scroll chuck and the oneway talon chuck? (other than $60)! Also, under accessories for the oneway talon it lists oneway scroll accessories. Are they interchangable?
The Talon is smaller and lighter. The Talon uses a single key to tighten the jaws whereas the original Oneway uses two tommy bars. At Packard Woodworks the difference is $40 rather than $60. Hope that helps.

They are both scrollchucks. The scrollchuck (less the Talon name) has to be loosened or tightened with two steel rods. It can be a bit of a problem when mounting something large although I was able to get around it with a chuck that operated like that in another life. This time I decided it will be the last chuck I will ever buy so I went for the convenience of the one tool T handle tighten and loosen system which is the Talon model.
Cant wait for mine to arrive . Hopefully around the middle of the week.

Looks like we hit submit at the same time. In CB language that would be I walked on ya. Tho Thorry good buddy..
I hadn't noticed in the specs that the talon was smaller and lighter.
That makes me feel better about my choice of the talon because I feel it will handle anything that I will turn on a mini lathe and it should be better suited to it.. The specs say it is for small to medium size lathes.

I just started using the Talon and really like it. I don't like that two-bar adjusting system on the original Oneway. And, the Talon isn't just smaller...it is significantly smaller.
I use the Talon. I really like it. I have even chucked a piece of corian in it with the standard jaws and was able to turn the top (finial) for my corian pen in it. I just bought the number one jaws for holding smaller objects so that the next finial won't be quite such a challenge.
